Description

An evening i saw this blue sky with very white looking clouds (very unlikely in Indian Moonsoon).
One of which looked like a white bird..
So i photographed it against this dead tree. As i wanted to use it as a symbol of Calamity & the white DOVE as symbol of peace.. I hope i m able to show that peace is always prevailing...
This is not meant to b a landscape only shot...
Amazingly i was also able to get stars on a blue sky with a long exposure of 8 sec.

I have been adopted byElite moserArtist
A ton of help from him.. He scraped many of my photos for lack of sharpness b4 allowing me to select this one.

# the orignal white frame in photo has been replaced by black one following suggestion below.

A very beautiful image Rushi. I'm not crazy about your frame choice, but that's just my personal taste. I wish you would have included some foreground elements.

John - Blame me for the frame :( Bummer! :o

You are a fast learner! Really enjoy collaborating on photography with you.

I enjoy the silhuette of the tree on the blue sky full of stars and the red/white:ich clouds.

Edit: Yeh this frame works better! ;)

You are improving! ;)

Very nice photograph. A clear image, I really like the interaction between the fast sky and the leaning tree. Frame is already mentioned. I might want to see a bit more of the tree, a less tight cropping on the bottom but that's just my taste :)
Well done!

well thnx for ur comments guys...
One reason i choose to show the tree smaller is when i shot i had this feeling that the white dove (which usually is a sign of peace) will always overcome Calamity, problems etc.. (symbolised by the dead tree)...
And so the dove is bigger than the dead..

You were right, I do like this.
What a wonderful concept, what wonderful colors and it reminds me of an old indian fantasy. Well done!

Sense of movement in dove shaped cloud as it passes across the sky. The dead tree interestingly goes against the grain and bends to left, while dove cloud flows left to right.

Well done Dakoo. My only crit is I wish the clouds were a bit sharper. Perhaps it was windy outside! Keep it up! :)

I love this! Particularly the stars and the angle of light. Personally, I'd get up closer to that tree, but that's just me. . .
Really like it.......love the stars! ;)
